The purpose of new technologies is to make life easier,_____it more difficult.
A.not make B.not to make C.not making D.do not make
在解这道题之前,我们先来探讨以下三个问题:
一、对称原则及其在高考试题中的应用
并列连词and.or,but,while等连接的前后两个部分有某种对称性,或曰前后的词形要一致。
比如说前面是动词,后面也要是动词;前面是过去式,后面也要是过去式;前面是主动语态,后面也要用主动语态,如此等等。掌握这种对称原则,对解单项填空和短文改错有很大用处。下面举数例高考试题佐证。
例1:My brother ______while he ______his bicycle and hurt himself.(MET'89)
A.fell,was riding B.fell were riding
C.had fallen,rode D.had fallen,was riding
[分析]答案A.根据对称原则,and连接的并列谓语时态要一致,后面hurt是过去式,前面也应用过去式fell.while从句表示fell动作发生的时间是“在骑自行车时”,应用过去进行时。
例2:On saturday afternoon,Mr Green went to the market,_____some bananas and
visited her 高考 cousin.(MET'91)
A.boughtB.buying C.to buyD.buy
[分析]答案A.此题是含and连接的三个并列谓语,第一,三个动词用了过去式(went,visited),第二个必然要用过去式。
例3:Playing football not only makes up grow up tall and strong but also give us a sense of fair play and team spirit.(NMET'98)
[分析] not only … but also … 在这里连接并列谓语,根据对称原则,前面用的是一般现在时单数第三人称形式makes,后面一个应是一般现在时单数第三人称,故这行give应改为gives.
例4:They eager to know everything about 93.______China and asked me lots of questions.(NMET'96)
[分析]在这道改错题中这句话的主语是they,and连接的并列谓语第二个是过去式asked,根据对称原则,第一个也应是过去式。但eager是形容词,前面须加be的过去形式were.
